HSBF Giveaway: $25 to Spend at Etsy Shops Fighting Slavery!

Would you like to enter win $25 to spend at shops that donate 100% of their profits to fight modern slavery? Well read on, because you can!

This year at Such Fun to Give, I wanted to have at least one giveaway that would not only raise awareness of modern slavery, but would help raise funds for to help too. So, I called out to sponsors to help pay for a prize that would come with a donation. None of the shops listed on this giveaway payed a dime for this prize: so when the winner spends his prize at these shops, 100% of the profits will go to a charity that helps victims of slavery.

I am so inspired by all the shops I found on Etsy that are helping to raise money for this cause. This giveaway only features the ones that were giving 100% and gave me permission to include them in this giveaway: you can browse many more shops I found on my Shop2Flight Slavery Squidoo page.

Would you like to follow their lead? As part of Hearts Should Be Free I'm hosing an Anti-Slavery garage sale where you can list used or hand-crafted items for sale to fight slavery! It's very easy...if you've ever sold something on Ebay, you can do this. Learn more and shop what other's have listed here.

Profits from this shop help fund a project that will provide a safe place for victims of sex trafficking in Cambodia to earn an income away from the sex trade. Learn more on their Facebook Page. (There is another HSBF giveaway going on for a sample of her soaps here.)

Supports both national and local organizations (VA Beach, VA area) that are active in the fight against Human Trafficking.

FOR THOSE OUTSIDE THE U.S.

This giveaway is only open in the United States, Canada (except Quebec), The United Kingdom, and the following areas of Australia (QLD, NT, TAS, and VIC only). Some of the shops above may not ship to your area, so your giveaway winnings must be spent at a shop that ships where you life.

this fact just blew me away: "There is an estimated 27 million people in the world enslaved today." I was aware that it was still a major human rights issue in the world, but did not fully realize HOW major! disgusting!

So many people don't realize the extent and scope of this....and not just in so-called Third World nations...it is right here in the United States, taking place in the swankiest hotels in our major cities.

27 million people enslaved in this day and age is crazy. I remember reading a story about a woman enslaved in the very province I live in, in Canada. This is crazy to think that people still believe this is okay!
